Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa is a unique, high-tech aquarium located on the grounds of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Takanawa, Minato City, Tokyo. Unlike traditional aquariums, this facility focuses heavily on the fusion of light, sound, and digital imagery to create an immersive entertainment experience. The space offers a seamless blend of marine life and cutting-edge technology, creating a truly modern aquatic environment.
The facility was previously known as Epson Aqua Park Shinagawa or Epson Shinagawa Aqua Stadium. Now operating as Maxell Aqua Park Shinagawa, it serves as a premier example of an 'urban-style' aquarium, integrated into the lifestyle and hospitality of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel complex.
The centerpiece of the aquarium is the spectacular dolphin performance, where the animals move in perfect synchronization with music and dramatic lighting effects. Beyond the main stage, visitors can explore various exhibits that utilize digital technology to create a dreamlike, illusory atmosphere. The interplay between the living creatures and the sophisticated light and sound displays makes every corner of the facility feel alive and magical.
The atmosphere of the aquarium changes beautifully depending on the time of day. The nighttime displays are particularly striking, with enhanced light shows and more intense visual effects that highlight the dramatic nature of the exhibits. It is highly recommended to visit during the evening to experience the full intensity of the light-based productions.
Visitors can enjoy high-energy entertainment centered around the dolphin shows and the sensory-rich digital exhibits. Because it is an urban-style aquarium, the focus is on providing a high-impact, visually stimulating experience that is perfect for both families and travelers looking for a unique nightlife-adjacent activity.
Since the aquarium is located within the Shinagawa Prince Hotel, it is part of a larger, convenient complex. After your visit, you can easily explore the hotel's various amenities or head out to the many commercial facilities and shopping centers surrounding Shinagawa Station.
Payment can be made via cash or credit card. The facility is equipped with wheelchair-accessible entrances and dedicated wheelchair parking areas. Please be mindful of signage regarding photography; some areas may have restrictions on flash or filming to protect the marine life and ensure the best experience for all guests.
